University Technology Transfer and National Innovation Policy

This booklet provides examples of university technology transfer offices in developing countries. Each office must work within differing national innovation policies, funding mechanisms and overall systems of innovation. That said, each office endeavors to commercialize university-produced innovations to the benefit of local communities, regional economies and national economic development. By highlighting these successes in innovation, this guide illustrates how such public to private transfer of technology can have a positive effect on the local as well as national economy of developing countries.
